35.3. Before unilaterally including conditions in an authorization or approval under section 9, 17 or 23, or making a decision pursuant to section 35.1 or 35.2, the Minister must notify the prior notice prescribed by section 5 of the Act respecting administrative justice (chapter J-3) to the person and grant that person at least 15 days to submit observations and produce documents in support of them.

A decision referred to in section 35.2 may be made without first notifying the prior notice if it is made in urgent circumstances or to prevent serious or irreparable injury or damage to persons or property. In such a case, the applicant may, within the time the Minister specifies, submit observations to the Minister for a review of the Minister’s decision.
